What We Offer

The fact is, many small businesses cannot afford the expertise they need in all facets of their operation. For this reason, the EAC Small Business Development Center is available to provide small businesses with appropriate information and referrals through its confidential and free one-on-one counseling.

Counseling

All counseling at the EAC Small Business Development Center is free! The approach is tailor-made, confidential, and person-to-person. Our services can help you make the most of business opportunities, solve existing problems, anticipate future problems, and improve management skills.

Specialty Counseling

We provide counseling services to clients through a state network team of SBDC business counselors. Our network of counselors are experienced professionals who can provide assistance in a wide variety of special areas of running a business. Our counselors’ expertise includes importing, exporting, clean technology, patents, international trade, veteran-owned businesses, technology transfer, and more.
